Thanks for the tip! The wiki is kindof obsolete since I didn't succeed using it and you can handle it nicely through Portage. I thought the drm modules in Portage were for 2.4 kernels only but not so anymore..

Still, I'm having trouble. I have a kernel with dri turned off, x11-drm-20050502 installed and modules loaded:

If so, reduce your resolution or color depth. The video ram necessary for a given resolution/depth is width*height*(depth/*3 kilobytes. (The 3 is for front, back, and depth buffers).

At 800x600 dri works like it should. That resolution however, isn't adequate for much anything so it turns out the card will be used just as an ordinary 2D card. After allt this work :-/ Aw.._________________"So slay me now! I have little magic left."
